Bringing ERF2024 to Rimini was a great team effort. Collaboration with the University of Bologna and its international network were fundamental in developing a bid with us that would lead to this prestigious result. Rimini showcased its rich offering of venues and hospitality services which pleasantly surprised guests.

“We provided the organizer with fully fitted rooms and digital connections for workshops and seminars, and the exhibition area of over 2,000 m2 was set up in one section of sala della Piazza, while in another, there was a host of practical activities with drones, robots, dogs and robot dogs which interacted with the participants, most of which were young students. The bright and welcoming common areas and, in particular, the Domus foyer, proved to be functional for mingling and networking”.
